hi, is it only the exhaust that needs high temperature paint or is there any other parts ie brake disc, engine etc that has to be a certain paint.

If you're painting the exhaust or bits of it, then best to use a thermal barrier paint, like Ceramic coating.
Brake calipers want high temp paint (or brake caliper paint) IIRC, never painted a set myself tho.

I have always just painted my callipers with standard hobby enamel. Never had an issue. Exhaust I have painted mine with bbq paint half the price compared to automotive stuff and works just as well.

I probably wouldn’t paint the brake discs...
I've wondered about this as some modern cars have the brake disc centres painted so they don't go rusty and look awful through the alloy wheels, what type of paint do they use? I assume VHT exhaust paint would be ok?
